UDY OUTLINE SERIES 



ENGLAND AND 
SCOTLAND 

HISTORY AND TRAVEL 



TENTATIVE EDITION 

. Many clubs are convinced of the advantage 
of studying one subject thruout the season, and 
for this work a carefully prepared program is 
needed. Local or state committees and state 
library commissions have spent time in preparing 
outlines which would be suitable for use else- 
where if they could be made available by print- 
ing. It is proposed in this series to centralize 
such work and to conserve the effort spent in 
making a good outline by putting it in shape for 
distribution. The outlines in this edition are 
printed as originally prepared and they are 
experimental rather than typical. Clubs them- 
selves by an actual testing of the outlines will 
be able to offer suggestion and criticism which 
will lead to a revision of form.

The Study Outline and Its Use 

The series will include outlines on art, litera- 
ture, travel, biography, history and present day 
questions. 

The outlines vary in length. If more topics 
are given than the number of club meetings for 
the season, those topics that are more difficult 
to handle or on which there is less available 
material, may be dropped. If there are fewer 
topics than the scheduled meetings, certain topics 
may be divided. 

Lists of books are appended to some of the 
outlines. It would be well for the club to own 
some of the recommended books. Others can 
be obtained either from the local public library 
or from the state traveling library. When very 
full lists are given it is not necessary for any 
club to use all the books, but the longer list leaves 
more room for choice. 

The best material on some subjects may be 
found, not in books, but in magazines. These 
may be looked up under the subject in the 
Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature. Maga- 
zine articles and illustrated material may be ob- 
tained from the Wilson Package Library. For 
terms see fourth page of cover. 

A partial list of the study outlines now in 
print will be found on page three! of this cover. 
For latest additions to the list write to publisher.

STUDY OUTLINE 
ON 

ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND 



This outline is intended for a travel study club which 
uses a historical foundation for its work. 

The historical part of the outline is divided into 
periods marked by sovereigns or royal families in order 
to facilitate reference to the many types of histories. It 
is essential that every member of the club follow the 
chronological narrative in one or more good works for 
an intelligent knowledge of the development of tenden- 
cies and movements in the social, political and economic 
phases of history. It is advisable, also, that maps for 
important periods be consulted. 

The travel topics deal with the places usually visited 
by the American tourist and a few additional places that 
are well worthy of inspection. 

A bibliography has been compiled of good reference 
books that are usually found in public libraries. The 
encyclopedias will have valuable help on all topics. 

For the benefit of clubs that can do more work than 
this outline requires, there is appended a list of subjects 
suitable for insertion in the program.
